KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Missouri man is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a Kansas City Chiefs fan in an Arrowhead Stadium parking lot.

Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the charge Friday against 23-year-old Joshua T. Bradley of Independence. He was arrested early Friday and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Smithville resident Kyle Van Winkle died after being confronted by a group of fans Dec. 1 when he was found in the wrong vehicle in the parking lot. Police say the Jeep looked like one that Van Winkle rode in to the game.

Peters Baker said Friday that Bradley hit Van Winkle more than once during the confrontation.

An autopsy found that Van Winkle died from a blow to the head.

Kid got in the wrong jeep. One that was exactly like his, only 2 rows over. Honest mistake. Was drunk and thought it was his. Was just sitting there waiting for the other people to get to the jeep. Other drunk dude goes apeshit thinking someone was stealing his jeep.

That's really unfortunate.

Jackson County authorities have charged a 25-year-old Independence man with involuntary manslaughter in the beating death of Kyle Van Winkle outside Arrowhead Stadium in December.

Joshua T. Bradley made his first court appearance late Friday morning and told a judge he plans to hire an attorney.
According to prosecutors, an autopsy showed that Van Winkle, 30, died from a blow to his head sustained during the Dec. 1 altercation — described by prosecutors as “very brief” — while the Kansas City Chiefs played the Denver Broncos. He sustained blunt force trauma to his head and neck.
“This is such a personal tragedy for this family,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said during a noon press conference Friday. She did not provide details on what led to the altercation and would not say whether Bradley had tickets to the game.
Because Bradley left the stadium parking lot before police arrived, authorities were not able to get his blood tested to determine his blood alcohol level, Baker said.
Van Winkle’s father, Dean Van Winkle, thanked authorities for their work. He paused momentarily while reading a statement on behalf of the family.
“Kyle was a hard-working, honest young man,” he said. “He sincerely loved people and cared about people, especially his family, especially his wife, Jenni, and his new baby son, Will. I firmly believe that he still truly does that today but from heaven.”
Van Winkle had gone to the game with his father, other relatives and friends. During the first quarter, the Smithville resident told his father he was going to the restroom but never returned to his seat.
Instead, he walked into the parking lot for unknown reasons and got into an apparently unlocked green Jeep that was similar to a vehicle in his tailgating convoy. The Jeep was parked in the same row where his group had parked but about 10 vehicles closer to the stadium.
According to court records:
The Jeep’s owner and young son returned to the vehicle and found Van Winkle either passed out or sleeping inside. The owner attempted to wake Van Winkle, whom he believed to be intoxicated, and sent his son for help. Several people soon arrived at the Jeep.
An argument ensued between Van Winkle and one of the bystanders. “That bigger feller (suspect) he walked away and something was said and he turned around and he just started hitting him (victim),” court records quote the Jeep’s owner as telling police.
After Van Winkle fell to the ground, the attacker continued hitting him, the records said.
According to police reports, the attacker left Van Winkle on the pavement. Another bystander propped him up against a bus. After they noticed Van Winkle had turned blue, bystanders flagged down a security guard and started CPR.
According to court records, witnesses identified the attacker as Bradley, who left the scene before police arrived. When investigators attempted to question him the day after Van Winkle died, Bradley requested an attorney, court records said.
Prosecutors delayed filing charges until receiving results from tests done during an autopsy.
Van Winkle, who worked at CommunityAmerica Credit Union, left a wife and baby born seven weeks before he died.

It's a Jeep thing. you wouldn't understand.

Wasn't even the the perp's jeep.

Exactly....Stupid Drunk had to play badass on someone else's problem....

Hope he gets sent up the river for several years....

Looks like a pill-head

The amount of stupid and drunk that come out of Arrowhead on Sundays is staggering...


So many drunks driving home... Its pure reerunation.

Holy crap! I think it's safe to assume that he found some Quaaludes prior to recording this.

Exactly what I pictured him to look likem

Penalty should fit the crime.
Put him in the same cell as the pervert who murdered that 10 year old in Springfield & then put him in a cell with 10 hardened criminals for their recreation.

How did that dude not stroke out?

It is embarrassing at times

25 to life most likely.
